White smoke in Berlin: The new coalition seems to have agreed with the Greens on a massive debt brake change for defense, infrastructure and climate investments and the states. Structural space will more than triple from ~0,9 to 3+, exact number depending on how much defense spending will increase.

I went to the tesla protest for a thing I'm working on and I talked to several onlookers - not protesters - and asked them what they knew about Elon and Doge and I'm telling you people don't know

Whining as feats of strength
as much as anything, yesterday was a perfect example of how the modern conservative conception of toughness is completely at odds with actual toughness

🤡 La puñalada de Milei a Zelensky se escuchó hasta en Madagascar 🔪
La velocidad de la luz es de 300.000 Km por segundo, pero nada comparado con la velocidad con la que se han quitado los fachas la bandera de Ucrania del perfil en todas las redes.

The parallels to the Swiss social democrats in 2023 are evident:
1) Appeals to young (female) voters with a credible progressive agenda and heavy emphasis on housing
2) Strong results in urban centers
3) Rather young co-leadership
4) Targeted campaigning with clear appeals

The election proved the narrative wrong. For the Linke the election was a huge success while BSW failed to make it above the 5%-threshold. The Linke managed to win young progressives especially in cities. Ironically, this would probably not have been possbile had Wagenkencht stayed in the party

NEW: updated long-run gap in voting between young men and women in Germany:
Gender divide continues to widen, but contrary to what is often assumed, young men continue to vote roughly in line with the overall population, while young women have swung sharply left.

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all?
Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left *at even higher rates*.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order.

Requiring passports and birth certificates to register to vote is a gendered administrative burden. As detailed in my article on gendered administrative burden, formal identification is often used to coercively control women and transgendered individuals academic.oup.com/jpart/articl...

I remember Benghazi, the "emails", and the horror of Bill Clinton meeting Loretta Lynch on a tarmac. The media cared a lot about all of those things. Where are screaming headlines and non stop horror coverage over this?
Another USAID official said workers in high-risk areas were abruptly cut off from channels meant to inform them of safety risks, left without a way to communicate with their former agnecy and unsure if they would be paid for recent work. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

La verdad si yo fuera Keir Starmer, haría el esfuerzo para que en el próximo presupuesto del Reino Unido duplicaran la plata que gastan en apoyo internacional. Gastaría lo mismo porcentualmente que Suecia y podría cubrir como la mitad de los compromisos de USAID. Sería tremendo golpe de soft poweer

Quite the marmalade-dropper, this: 3 weeks before Germany's election, Angela Merkel has issued a statement criticising her own party for enabling ("with open eyes") a majority with the AfD. Effectively accuses Merz of breaking his pledge not to do so.

Passes 348:344 with votes of CDU, AfD & FDP (BSW abstains). Only 1 CDU MP votes no and 8 abstain (? unclear- the official website appears to be down, but it’s a shockingly small number). Shameful day for the German “centre”-right. The beginning of the end of the last(?) cordon sanitaire in Europe.
Looks like the CDU is willing to rely on AfD votes to push through new harsh anti-asylum measures next week. They will likely get Lindner’s FDP votes and Wagenknecht’s BSW as well. A terrible mistake they’ll come to regret.
